  2. Habitability of yellow dwarf systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habitability_of_yellow...

    A G2V-type yellow dwarf like the Sun belongs to Kepler-452, with an estimated age of 6 billion years (6 Ga) versus the solar system's 4.5 Ga. [ 46 ] The mass of its star is slightly higher than that of the Sun, 1.04 M ☉ , so despite the fact that it completes an orbit around it every 385 days versus 365 terrestrial days, it is warmer than the ...

  3. G-type main-sequence star - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G-type_main-sequence_star

    A G-type main-sequence star (spectral type: G-V), also often, and imprecisely, called a yellow dwarf, or G star, is a main-sequence star (luminosity class V) of spectral type G. Such a star has about 0.9 to 1.1 solar masses and an effective temperature between about 5,300 and 6,000 K (5,000 and 5,700 °C ; 9,100 and 10,000 °F ).

  4. List of directly imaged exoplanets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_directly_imaged_e...

    In many cases it is not possible to have an exact value, and an estimated range is instead provided. The coldest and oldest planet directly imaged is Epsilon Indi Ab, which has six times Jupiter's mass, an effective temperature of 275 K, and an age of about 3.5 Ga. This list includes the four members of the multi-planet system that orbit HR 8799.

  5. List of possible dwarf planets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_possible_dwarf_planets

    The number of dwarf planets in the Solar System is unknown. Estimates have run as high as 200 in the Kuiper belt [1] and over 10,000 in the region beyond. [2] However, consideration of the surprisingly low densities of many large trans-Neptunian objects, as well as spectroscopic analysis of their surfaces, suggests that the number of dwarf planets may be much lower, perhaps only nine among ...

  6. List of natural satellites - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_natural_satellites

    Of the Solar System's eight planets and its nine most likely dwarf planets, six planets and seven dwarf planets are known to be orbited by at least 300 natural satellites, or moons. At least 19 of them are large enough to be gravitationally rounded; of these, all are covered by a crust of ice except for Earth's Moon and Jupiter's Io. [1]

  7. List of exoplanets discovered by the Kepler space telescope

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_exoplanets...

    An artist's rendition of Kepler-62f, a potentially habitable exoplanet discovered using data transmitted by the Kepler space telescope. The list of exoplanets detected by the Kepler space telescope contains bodies with a wide variety of properties, with significant ranges in orbital distances, masses, radii, composition, habitability, and host star type.

  8. WASP-12 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WASP-12

    WASP-12 is a magnitude 11 yellow dwarf star located approximately 1347 light-years away [2] in the constellation Auriga. [4] WASP-12 has a mass and radius similar to the Sun and is known for being orbited by a planet that is extremely hot and has a retrograde orbit around WASP-12. WASP-12 forms a triple star system with two red dwarf companions ...

  9. Kappa1 Ceti - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kappa1_Ceti

    Kappa 1 Ceti is a yellow dwarf star of the spectral type G5Vv. [3] Since 1943, the spectrum of this star has served as one of the stable anchor points by which other stars are classified. [14] The star has roughly the same mass as the Sun, with 95% of the Sun's radius [8] but only 85 percent of the luminosity. [9]
